What exactly qualifies as a budget PC in today’s market, and which components should take priority when trying to squeeze the most performance per dollar? I'm curious about the trade‑offs between CPU, GPU, RAM and storage in a cost‑constrained build. How do you decide where to cut corners without compromising the experience for typical gaming or productivity tasks? Thoughts?

In my recent budget build (~$600) I focused on getting a solid 12‑core Ryzen 5 CPU and paired it with a used GTX 1660 Super, because the CPU handles both gaming and productivity bottlenecks, while a modest GPU still runs most titles at 1080p. I dropped the RAM to 16 GB (3200 MHz) and went with a 500 GB NVMe SSD – enough speed for OS and games, and you can always add a larger HDD later if storage runs out.
